You didn’t answer any of my questions. And maybe you won’t from the original comment. But do you have an idea of how many dancers? 12? 24?

I’m glad you had a good time ‘Watching the stage’ but for me, personally I don’t just go just to watch the stage. Also, I really find the mentality expressed in your post dumbfounding… like this quote… “Unlike previous visits, I did not venture into the VIP lounge. I am still little hesitant for that level of contact at this point” You go into a club where almost no one is wearing a mask, Social distancing is not possible and you literally can’t avoid bumping into people on a Saturday night. BUT the VIP room is a bridge too far….a ‘’level of contact’ you aren’t ready for. Seriously???? I mean, there is a lot of inconsistency here but I’ll just leave that alone. This isn’t just directed just to you but I am sick and tired of the illogical, debilitating behavior displayed by the very people who are posting “trust science” on their Facebook pages. What are you waiting for? I’m assuming you have had the vaccine. Are you unable to comprehend math? I mean, the risk to the fully vaccinated for facing a serious bout with COVID is almost zero! Do you feel superior virtue signaling by wearing your mask and encouraging people to still wear masks? I’m just going to make a wild guess here…you have suffered virtually no financial impact from the pandemic and in fact are doing better than before the pandemic? Tell me if I’m wrong. How long are you going to maintain your irrational fear that is completely devoid of reality and has NO BASIS IN SCIENCE? Till the end of the year? Next year? Next decade? again, not really meant to be directed at you as an attack but your post “triggered me” (been wanting to say that phrase forever). If you’ve been fully vaccinated you should get on with living life. There is no rational basis for hiding in fear.

One other note about Swinging Richards. They have not hired a single new dancer since February 2020. Several hot guys have gone by the club and asked. They were told by the manager we aren’t hiring. Also was told that at 10:30 pm on Friday night they had 10 customers. I’m sure it picked up later. It is a shadow of its former self

I wouldn’t say BJs has better dancers than Richards on a consistent basis. The last few times i went to BJs.... probably 2 months ago, a friend and I lasted less than 30 min. But on Sunday night they had several new guys including a long haired blond athletic to muscular build going by Thor, and a similar built Latin guy from New York going by Liam. I was pleasantly surprised and may visit again in the next few weeks.

A strip club shouldn’t have a $20 cover charge when they aren’t putting dancers on stage.

No… not drunk lawyer. There are actually probably a dozen semi regular big money customers that get a room for an entire night and take multiple dancers with them

A few comments, as someone who has recently travelled to a few cities in Florida (including Fort Lauderdale) and lives in Atlanta. It is very encouraging to see the bars come back to life. First, the crowds are back! I’ve talked to multiple gay bar owners who have said their numbers (crowds and dollars) are higher than pre pandemic levels. every time I walk by Blake’s and Ten they are packed. The Hideaway is packed. The bars in Fort Lauderdale are packed I think this is happening all across the US as people are ready to mingle! Second, Memorial Day weekend is usually a quiet one for Atlanta gay bars because most of the party boys go to the festival in Pensacola.... as they did this year. However, this year it was crazy. I went to Richards on Frisay and it was packed. I went to BJs on Sunday night. It was packed! It really is a stunning turnaround. But unfortunately, Swinging Richards is a shadow of what it used to be. a few observations as to why..... BJs actually has more hot guys. SR had maybe 18 dancers Friday night. 6 of which stayed in the VIP room all night and refused to go on stage even when they are not doing a VIP room. As a consequence they have a packed house and one to two dancers on stage for 3 straight songs…. And the quality of guys has definitely dropped. If you are a bar, you should make it easy for your customers to buy a drink. Management at SR doesn’t grasp this concept. They only had 3 bartenders to serve drinks. No waiters and no busboys. Typically took 20+ minutes to get a drink. Add to all of that, no new talent. All of the guys that are there started dancing a minimum of two years ago. Some have been there for over a decade and the “veterans” have unbelievably bad attitudes. on thursday night a rich surgeon was visiting from out of town and he took 9 guys into a VIP room for over 4 hours. His total bill was over $20k. Good for them. But because they have so few dancers working were no dancers on stage. Yep, for the 100 or so folks that paid a $20 cover charge... they were able to “look at the stage” and buy overpriced drinks. it really is a shame. They had such a good run for such a long time. They have something you can find in very few places in the US (male nudity and alcohol). seriously hoping for Johnson’s Atlanta

very few of the dancers in Montreal will do gay porn beyond a solo. Maybe 1 in 50. Maybe 1 in 100. Most do seem to be discreet. I never asked a dancer for a private, always waited on them to ask me. Several years ago I left with a very sexy guy (dancer a) and one of the other dancers saw me leave. (dancer b) I always did dances with dancer b. The very next night after sharing a few drinks we went to the back for dances.. before they started this dancer wanted to know why I had never asked him for a private. I told him I never ask dancers for private shows. I only went with guys that asked me. Which led to the.... ok, I’m asking u now”. I said ok and quoted a price.. which led to the “what will we do?”question and an ask for more $$$. We came to an agreement which was my original price. Had a really good time later than evening at my hotel

That policy hasn’t changed

The border between the US and Canada is still closed. So exactly how are dancers from Montreal able to go to Fort Lauderdale to dance at Johnson’s? https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1367118386738644/posts/3611710985612695

It’s open for now.

For chidude https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/please-help-me-decide-swinging-richards-or-boxers-n-briefs.159225/post-1974450

I wouldn’t describe it as money on lap dances. the really big spenders tend to get a vip room for 2 to 3 hours. And take 2 or more dancers with them. its $400 an hour for each dancer and there is a room fee on top of that. one recently described a room with a customer and 4 dancers where the customer pulled out $400 and said this is the bonus for the first one who cums. I could describe more but won’t. I’ve probably already said to much for a public forum.

So I’ll add a little bit of info to George’s posts about Atlanta. I was actually at richards for a few hours last night. I spent most of my time in the VIP lounge. There were about 20 dancers which i think is about normal since they reopened in August. I say ”I think” because I’ve only been once. last night was probably 80% capacity at its peak. last year on the same weekend, would have been double capacity (Black pride) and standing room only. But from what the dancers have said the crowds have been good and a few big spenders (I.e. the kind that drop $5K to $10k) have stopped in. Masks aren‘t required. Some but not all of the bartenders wear masks. I didn’t see any dancers wearing masks. Maybe 1 out of 3 customers were wearing masks, if that. I think people have thrown caution to the wind and when they pop in richards or any of the other bars/clubs in Atlanta, they try to forget about all the issues associated with the pandemic. A good number of dancers have had COVID and recovered. as for the dancers, Right now richards actually has quite a few attractive guys. And a few, unfortunately, that have no business taking their clothes off in public. There is one, in his 40’s, and he looks even older than he is, but he just sits in the VIP lounge... never goes on stage. so, why is he there you ask? XXXXXX (Oops did I write that). Sorry not sorry. also this weekend I saw one of the South American muscle dancers that used to spend his summers in montreal (maximo) Looks the same as the last time I saw him in montreal. What is interesting about that to me is that unless something has changed you need to be an American citizen or have a visa in order to get the $400 adult entertainer permit required to dance at a nude club in Atlanta. In the past, that has prevented visitors from Europe, Canada and South America from working at richards. I don’t know if the requirements have changed or if maximo had the paperwork he needed I’ve been going to richards for over 20 years and ive definitely missed it during the pandemic. It was nice to experience a bit of normalcy for a few hours even though I know I took a risk. Information that could put the club at risk was removed.

I’m not really sure what u mean by getting in on the action vs watching. At SR there are lap dances and VIP rooms.... so it is far from watch only

Rerun. They did have live shows this weekend. Nice to see some of the boys: jay, Kyle, Milton, Denzel, Adrian, vinny, Robbie and others. I’m very appreciative of the reruns and the live shows from stock bar. I wish I could visit. This will be the first summer in 10 years that I haven’t been to Montreal. Hoping the border will open up in September so I can visit.

I will not confirm or deny ?

idea of location... if you were having a drink at “The Hideaway” (aka ‘the Wrinkle room’), you would be in the neighborhood.

Johnson’s atlanta will not be nude. The owner of the building was not going to do a lease for a nude club and the city wont license any new nude facilities. there are advantages to non nude. The dancers don’t have to spend $425 to purchase an adult permit and out of towners and local muscle boys who stop in can hop on stage

So much to unpack here. You calling someone bitter? That is beyond ironic. You clearly don’t know what physics is. I would rather eat 80 year old pussy than buy you a drink. That doesn’t mean I want to do either but if I had to choose the Pussy would be the lesser of two bad choices. And you act like 1 and 3 is the same number.

I think it is more of a case he is engaging in a battle of wits and he is completely unarmed

You said block away from stock. Nothing you say can cover up the fact that you were WRONG! When you can’t get your facts correct and refuse to admit you are incorrect your credibility becomes Zero. You are not reliable. You are not trustworthy. You should not be believed. As for stock, most of the tourists that visit there have never even heard of this board. So again, you are completely uninformed. Which is not something I would hold against you. Your unwillingness to accept facts and admit you are wrong when it is so obvious as well as your unwillingness to accept others may have a substantially different perspective is the problem.

“A block away from stock” A block away from stock is in the village. We’ve already established that it wasn’t a block away from stock. Bless your heart. You are just stupid

You aren’t just a troll, u are a damn liar and moron. You originally said one block right next to stock. WRONG! You said it was in the village. WRONG! You’ve reached rock bottom and continue to dig. Just do yourself and everyone else a favor and shut the fuck up!

My mother is deceased. But you would never have had a chance with her. She recognized twats like you from a mile away
